Domaine ForRest can accommodate up to 14 guests, making it ideal for residential seminars, family weekends or group stays without the need for travel between venues.

Flexible and tailor-made experiences

We can help organise:

• Workshops and activities
• Experienced facilitators and regular partners (wellness, team building, etc.)

A perfect venue for a seminar near Lyon, a countryside family celebration or a group getaway surrounded by nature, in a warm, simple and welcoming atmosphere. 💚

Yes… here, you truly have space to breathe. 🌳

The accommodations are spread throughout the park, among the centuries-old trees, allowing everyone to enjoy their own peaceful retreat.

You won't feel crowded together—instead, you will be surrounded by nature. It is not unusual to meet a few horses or goats from neighbouring fields along the paths… a gentle and authentic presence that is part of the landscape.

And then there is your private terrace: your own little corner to slow down—a morning coffee, a drink at sunset or simply the pleasure of listening to the quiet.

✨

Pets are not simply accepted or tolerated: your four-legged companions are welcomed with care and kindness.

At Domaine ForRest, they are truly part of the experience. 🌿 The estate is enclosed and monitored to ensure comfort and safety for everyone. We are also committed to providing a dog-friendly welcome through the QualyDog certification.

Yes, of course—you will be warm and comfortable, even in the middle of winter. 😊

Domaine ForRest is open all year round, and each accommodation has its own heating system:

• In ForRest Glass Cabin and ForRest Stone Lodge, enjoy the cosy warmth of a pellet stove.
• In ForRest Sand Cabin, efficient electric heating keeps the space comfortable.
• In the manor house, heating is provided by oil-fired heating, with the added charm of a fireplace.

Winter at Domaine ForRest has a special atmosphere… peaceful surroundings, nature at rest and the pleasure of being cosy indoors while enjoying the moment.

Yes, remote working is absolutely possible at Domaine ForRest.

Each accommodation has its own Wi-Fi box with a password, providing a simple and independent connection suitable for professional needs: video calls, emails, remote work or business travel.

In this calm natural environment, working takes on a different meaning. Between sessions, enjoy the silence, nature and a peaceful atmosphere. 💚

A perfect balance between productivity and a countryside break just one hour from Lyon.

Absolutely. Domaine ForRest is perfectly suited for private hire, whether for corporate seminars, workshops, family celebrations, birthdays or gatherings with loved ones.

We regularly welcome this type of stay in a peaceful natural setting, ideal for reconnecting, sharing and creating meaningful memories. 🌿

A flexible event space

A seminar room for up to 25 people, adaptable to your needs:

• Group format for meetings and presentations
• Small working groups (tables for 2) for collaborative workshops
• Adjacent room equipped with fridge, coffee machine and kettle
• Equipment available: flipchart, TV screen and projector

Each accommodation has its own Wi-Fi box with a password, so you can stay connected whenever needed.

But here, we also love encouraging you to slow down and disconnect from digital distractions when possible. 🌿

Take the opportunity to reconnect with what matters most: nature, tranquillity and yourself.

💚

Absolutely.

The atmosphere, natural surroundings and privacy of the accommodations make Domaine ForRest an ideal destination for a romantic getaway near Lyon, Clermont-Ferrand and Saint-Étienne.

We offer a range of stays combining historic charm and nature experiences:
•Charming guest rooms and self-catering accommodation in the manor house
•Unique accommodations, including cabins and an unusual stone lodge

Among our unusual accommodations, we currently offer two fully equipped cabins, open all year round and heated, each with a small kitchen for extra independence. They are also suitable for longer stays.

ForRest Glass Cabin – The nature escape

If you dream of nature, silence and complete disconnection, this is where your escape begins.

A unique cabin surrounded by water and greenery, designed for slowing down and reconnecting with the essentials.

ForRest Sand Cabin – The wellness retreat for two

If you want to fully enjoy the wellness area with jacuzzi, sauna and swimming pool while sharing quality time together in complete peace and privacy, this is the perfect choice.

ForRest Stone Lodge – A place full of history and character

Designed for couples looking for romance and heritage.

A former private chapel dating back to the 14th century, the stone tower has been transformed into a unique retreat where historic architecture meets contemporary comfort.

The Manor Suite

Here, you rediscover the charm of a characterful home.

Stone walls, wooden beams and a fireplace create the feeling of staying in a place that has always existed—warm, authentic and timeless.

The Two Tulip Trees Apartment

If you are looking for a spacious and comfortable accommodation, this 60 m² apartment offers a large bathroom and a genuine living space.

The swimming pool is available exclusively during your stay, from your arrival until your departure. 💦

Before 5 pm, we need this time to maintain the pool and prepare the estate so everything is ready for your arrival.

As it is also our private family pool, this allows us a little time to enjoy it ourselves before welcoming you. 😊

We also do not have a shared changing area or waiting space before check-in, so pool access begins when your accommodation is ready.

But no worries… once you arrive, we will do everything we can to make every moment of your stay count. 🌿💚

No, our accommodations do not have private spas or jacuzzis—and this is a choice we have made with care. 💚

Instead, we offer you something different: a dedicated wellness area that can be privately booked, set in the heart of the park and designed especially for peaceful moments together.

This separate space features large windows opening onto nature, with views of the trees and swimming pool, creating a unique feeling of being both indoors and outdoors at the same time.

The advantage? You can enjoy it whatever the weather: on winter evenings, during cooler summer nights or even on rainy days. 💦✨

To complete your relaxation experience, massages are also available by reservation.

A moment just for you

No sharing, no interruptions, no unexpected visitors.

Simply reserve your private time slot and enjoy the space together, in complete privacy, surrounded by a calm and soothing atmosphere. 🌿

Our 5-person jacuzzi is designed to suit every occasion. 💚

Whether you are visiting with friends, family or as a couple, everyone can enjoy their own space and rhythm.

We wanted to create a place where you never feel cramped: more space, more comfort and, above all, a true atmosphere of shared relaxation. 🌿

To enhance the wellness experience, aromatherapy is also available, creating an even softer and more soothing moment of relaxation. ✨

A simple, friendly or intimate experience… surrounded by nature. 💦💚

Unlike a traditional sauna, an infrared sauna uses infrared heat to warm the body more deeply, while maintaining a gentler and more comfortable temperature. 🌿

Many guests appreciate the feeling of deep relaxation, improved muscle recovery, targeted relief from tension and a less intense heat sensation.

A wellness experience all year round

The wellness area is open throughout the year, with water maintained at 37–38°C for optimal comfort. 🌿

Unlike traditional wood-fired Nordic baths, the temperature remains stable, while the powerful jets provide a genuine massage effect for deep relaxation. 💚

 

This is a choice we made with you in mind. 💚

There are several reasons:

• It allows us to keep our rates more accessible, without significantly increasing the price of every night.
• Not everyone necessarily wants or needs a private spa in their accommodation.
• Most importantly, we prefer to offer a larger, fully equipped wellness area that can be privately booked and enjoyed in all weather conditions. ✨

The real advantage

Rather than installing a small private spa in every accommodation, we chose a different approach. 💚

Everything is brought together in one dedicated wellness space, designed to create a complete and immersive experience. 🌿

A spacious and peaceful place in the heart of the park, where you can truly take your time.

You will find:

• A 5-person jacuzzi
• An infrared sauna
• A dedicated space for professional personalised massages, designed to release tension and stress

A true wellness retreat, created for relaxation, connection and taking time for yourself.

Yes, of course… we truly love creating special moments for couples. ✨

The Love & Slow package has been designed as a complete romantic experience: a gentle atmosphere from the moment you arrive, allowing you to reconnect, slow down and simply enjoy your time together. 🌹

For surprises and special occasions (birthdays, proposals, intimate celebrations…), we also offer a romantic option including an aperitif, rose petals and candles, creating a warm and emotional atmosphere in your accommodation.

And if you have a specific idea in mind, we love creating personalised experiences. At Domaine ForRest, we adapt to your story and your own way of celebrating love.
